Man jailed for Veronica Guerin murder moves to have conviction quashed
A man jailed for life for the murder of journalist Veronica Guerin has moved to have his conviction declared a miscarriage of justice.
Brian Meehan, 47, from Crumlin in Dublin, is serving a life sentence in Portlaoise prison having being convicted in July 1999 of the murder of Ms Guerin in June 1996 following a 31-day-trial before the non-jury Special Criminal Court. He was also jailed on drugs and firearms charges.
